Hi all,
I've been swimming regularly since June and have developed an annoying clicking sound in both shoulders. I've started doing some rotator cuff exercises witha theraband daily to try to alleviate this. Anyone else have experience with this?
If you are a new swimmer like me, I think this is "normal" I started having shoulder problems (some clicking, deep pain) after taking up swimming about 2 years ago. After building up the correct muscles to hold the joint together, it went away. Now I swim 5 times a week instead of 3, with twice the yardage and no problems.
If you are new, give it a chance to resolve by backing off so you dont get hurt, but don't quit. If it doesn't eventually go away within 6 months or so, then get help. I've been to alot of doctors for various things and they always tell me to just stop what I am doing..........gee, what a great idea, I'll just watch TV instead, why didn't I think of that.
